Other than the fact that we will never return to this Pediatrician's office, his measurements were all right on, for him anyway. He is 18 pounds (50%) and he is 29 inches long (98%). So for H, we are right on track! He has been at these percentiles since birth, so that is perfect for him. Hoorah!
The doctor, if you could call her that, helped me zero. She answered not one question for me, and I was so not impressed. Pretty sure if me and Alyssa put our minds together we would know 5 times more about babies than this cat. I want my co-pay back! But, I think me and Russ actually figured out what we needed to do on our own anyway.
There is a bunch of construction going on outside of H's windows, and he keeps waking up at 5, EVERY DAY!!! Which is fun and fabulous and everything, but the pregnant lady needs her sleep. About a week ago Russ said we should put some blankets up over the windows, and of course I said NO WAY! How Cheesy! But I read in my baby books that it was a good way to cut out early risers' noise. So last night while I finished getting H to bed, Russ hung the blankets. I know, I gave in. H slept until 7:30 this morning! Woohoo! I am trying not to get too excited about it, but hopefully he has gone back to his regular morning schedule!!!

Blankets= cheesy.
Sleeping in= totally worth it.
I have put blankets up with both of my kids at night and then would take them down and then put them back up for nap. What a pain. Then I found some really inexpensive blackout shades at Home Depot. They will cut them to fit your window. (supposed to cut out noise too) Also have you tried turning on a humidifier to block out noise? Sorry for the long comment.
He is so long! That's awesome!
Sorry about losing sleep in the morning!
Paige-
he has a sound machine that plays constantly, but it still isn't cutting it, and the rain can't get any louder on the machine or it will be flooding in there! I don't really love the blankets, but today he slept until 8:30, so they are impressing me more daily! I looked at the shades, but they are not thick enough to absorb sound, this loud sound anyway??? We do have thick lined curtains also.
Laura-
he is so long, but I am happy about his weight. He still looks so thin because of his height! Everyone asks us how old he is, and when we tell them 6 months they look at us crazy. Most say he looks like a one year old!
I know you probably hate that Russell was right about the shades? Andy is usually right as well and then he just smiles like "I told you so!" in that cute little way he does. Glad he's sleeping longer.
Yep--it pretty much goes the same way at our house!
